Write-in Ron Paul
We need Dr. Paul to file the paperwork that will certify him as a write-in candidate in the states that allow write-ins. Idaho is one of them and there are about 33 or 35 more states. While Dr. Paul would not be on the ballot in enough states to secure the Presidency, I'm sure he will secure enough votes to influence the direction the future President will take. Neither candidate will have enough votes to claim a mandate from the voters. Dr. Paul has said all along that he was in the race to give voters a choice of a Constitutional candidate. Unfortunately not all voters will have the opportunity to write-in Ron Paul in the general election. But we must encourage him to allow a write-in campaign. It has to be done legal or it won't count. Also most states do not allow a Primary candidate who lost to file as an Independent or third party candidate. Dr. Mary Ruwart could his VP.

if we wanted to invade a state with rp supporters
it should be iowa, houses are dirt cheap out here! i paid $27,000 for a 5 bedroom house! i see lots and lots of nice houses for under $50,000. i sold 2 houses 1 for $18,000 and the other for $12,000 and there are lots of houses in that range in the smaller towns. the fishing out here kinda sucks, but the hunting is probably the best in the country, deer and pheasant everywhere. its kinda boring out here though, but i like my peace and quiet. most people are pretty friendly. jobs are no better or worse than any where else. cost of living is really low. very low auto insurance rates and property tax rates. population is low therefore making it easier to make an impact in political decisions if we get the numbers. especially in the primaries . we are the first state to hold primaries in the country and a big win would set a pretty good momentum to win big in the following states thereafter. most people out here are politically dumb but that could be turned around if we dominated the state.
Now why would you want to do
Now why would you want to do that. "most people out here are politically dumb but that could be turned around if we dominated the state." With twice the population and half the smarts of Idahoans, you would have your work cutout for you. Iowans like their farm subsidies and they are not going to vote for someone that wants to take that away.

It's a great place. Typical small town life -- although not hick-ville small town. People are real people -- yet sophisticated and intellegent.
Lots of home schooling and numerous private schools (Praise Church SChool) Minnenight School, etc.
But if you want any decent shopping centers you got to go to Cour de'lane.
My wife (Amy) and I have talked about moving back to Idaho -- but to Cour de'lane (that way we're at least 90 miles away from my parents :)

Not really
All of our reps strongly support Bush and McCain and would never give Ron Paul the time of day. We have Bill Sali, Larry (bathroom) Craig, Mike Crapo and Mike Simpson as our reps. Check them out. I was pleased to see my county got 27% for RP but they sure did fail when voting for their reps. Just an Idaho opinion.
The changes will come from 2008 and on.
Because of Ron Paul, supporters have joined the Republican party, won Committeeman seats and are voting in 2008 for changes. Ron Paul Republicans (Committeeman and Representatives) are a majority in some Districts, not so in others. But, they are NOW active and will be an influence on future candidates.
Should be interesting in the years ahead.

Exactly we were focused on Ron Paul and learning the ropes. We had significant shake up in Ada County last night and we have a shot at replacing our state chairman . Now for the next two years we will be planning strategizing, and growing the movement here.
If we had a a couple hundred hardcore activist here we could win any race in this state for any office including governor. If we had half the activity here we had in NH Ron Paul would have won this state and we would be in control of it right now.

I would definately move to Idaho....
But consider this, Idaho was one of the last states to vote, and it seems to me that Ron Paul got bigger percentages in the last 5 states than in the other 45 states.
Why?.
I believe that most people, who rely on MSM for their information, woke up too late to vote for Ron Paul. But slowly and surely, the word is getting out, and our numbers are growing.
But I say, we can't stop now, we have got to keep the momentum going.
A Paul / Ventura Ticket is the best solution at this point.
This would give us a real chance at WINNING the Presidency and at the very least would educate millions more Americans.
Don't let the Revolution die people. We have a chance to make history.
We have to strike during this election cycle. 2012 is too late.
The time is right. The economy is tanking, Inflation is running rampant, there is talk of war with Iran, illegal immigration is out of control, taxation is higher than its ever been, and our Constitutional rights are being stripped away. We need some real change NOW. Not 4 years from now.
Think about it.
Are there any Ron Paul
Are there any Ron Paul Republicans there running for congress?

Got any
of those Hollywood liberal types like Montana?? Any Ted Turners?
Dontcha have Demi and her tribe in Idaho? Or do they lay pretty low?
Sun Valley area
is where you find a lot of Liberal money. It's a resort area and mostly inconsequential (politically) to the rest of the State. Ada county (Boise) and next door Canyon County (Nampa) is where a large portion of the populace resides.
Idaho has become very diverse in recent years with the growth. I discovered Idaho over 10 years ago. Always called it a jewel in the West. It still is.
Ultimately, Idaho is what you make it. And Ron Paul supporters (and others) are working hard to make it a shining example of a slice of America that is Constitutionally strong.

Will Strongly
consider this....
Idaho is awesome!!
But I don't want any one to move there, to New Hampshire, to Paulville, or anywhere else UNLESS THEY CAN'T SURVIVE without the support of like-minded patriots.
Why?
Because we need as many patriots working in every state of the union trying to take back the Republican party and converting every voter possible into an informed patriot.
If we retreat into a single town, or even a state, we have conceded defeat and might as well move to New Zealand.
Don't worry not everyone
Don't worry not everyone will move or want to move here but we need enough patriots to take control so we have at least one free state. If we set the example others will follow and many will be converted when they see the freedom we have and it will spread through out the nation.

been thinking about it! as
been thinking about it!
as for me and my home, we shall worship the LORD
This is a seriously good idea, here is why
Much of our way of life has been lost here - logging and mining were our "industry." There are dirt cheap houses with plenty of land to "gentleman farm." A large group of people who understood the value of a local economy could be a beacon in the wilderness, without seccession.
Come to my little corner of Idaho - we have a little secret here... (most of the County Central Committee are RP people and all of our delegates are.)
Imagine me humming and putting on my tennis shoes as I head to the garden: "Won't you please be my neighbor?" lol!
..and where IS your little
..and where IS your little corner?
Near one of the lovely little rivers
in Boise County. Where we just seated a full slate of Ron Paul delegates and won control of the Central Committee, including the chair.
And our neighboring counties are doing well, too. You may have heard the sad, aggravating story of Kootenai County. One of the finest Patriots I know lives up there, and she was not treated well at all by people who should have welcomed her. The sacrifice that she and others endured may have bought the rest of this state a silver lining, though. Watch for State Convention news, coming soon...
Thanks for making this post.
Thanks for making this post. I was thinking of making a similar post since paul4won made her post. Idaho is great place. It has it's problems, however if we could get enough Ron Paul supporters to move here we could easily solve them.
The Boise area is like a mini Silicon Valley with Micron and Hewlet Packard here and various smaller high tech companies so there are jobs although we are experiencing a slow down like everyone else due to national monetary and other bad policies.
Idaho was part of the Western Alliance for Liberty (WAL) which included Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. It was a spin off of the Free State Project after NH was chosen as the Free State. We have the farthest inland port in the country on the Columbia River for trade and we have a border with Canada.
We have some of the most beautiful country on the planet and some of the best hunting and fishing on the planet here also with abundant Deer, Elk, Turkey etc. We also have all the outdoor sports here from skiing to whitewater rafting to hiking and climbing etc.
Yes we have an income and a sales tax and there have been some movements to abolish them in the past that failed. So come help us get rid of them! There is currently a move to lower or abolish property taxes.
The universities here have done extensive research and development in Biofuels like Biodiesel and Ethanol and we recently completed the largest Ethanol plant in the western states here in Bule Idaho also.
We have had the honor in the past of having the most elected Libertarians. Lots of strong self reliant freedom minded folks here in Idaho but we have a few socialist and sheeple also. And had some more of them moving in during the housing boom/bubble run up Which is where you come in. We don’t have far to go to take control of the state with Ron Paul supporters and those favorable to the principles of freedom.
We even had one of those Sheriffs in one of our counties who stood down the Feds and won. Lots of second amendment supporters here. Machineguns are legal here ;-)
So as the original poster said come on up and lets build a state that truly lives by the principles of freedom and the constitution. Bring your talents and your business and your love of freedom we need you.
Some places to look at the job market are Boisehelpwanted.com, Idahostatesment.com Idaho press tribune, American classifieds Boise area. And here is a list for the state: http://www.50states.com/n...

The only way that will work
The only way that will work is Secession.
I'm all for that though I suppose.
Tracy
If you secede u lose the US
If you secede u lose the US Constitution. Where is the sense in that? I would at least wait until the entire country loses it with the NAU.
The whole North West
I agree - Idaho, in fact the whole north west is more RP friendly than anywhere else - Washington, Montana and Idaho and even Oregon, especially more than the loser south - Huckaboo territory.
I have a feeling...
I have a feeling that you can't move for freedom: you have to pick your spot and fight for it. No matter how many allies you have in one state, you still have problems with Congress, the IRS, the Federal Reserve, etc.
The key is to pick your battles and fight them. That's why I joined the Libertarian Party years ago; at least I'm not alone.

Idaho could be more easily taken.
than other states. There aren't that many people here, and a good percentage already like freedom. It would be easier to elect a non-bozo governor who wouldn't knuckle under to the feds if we had more Ron Paul supporters up here. It would also be easier to elect senators, etc who couldn't be bribed because of their personal life (like the man of the "wide stance" fame). I could make a list of bad things that we could easily make disappear if we had more good folks here. Yes, there would still be problems with the IRS, and such, but we could do a lot to lower taxes and reduce Boise's regulations on ourselves.
So, if you want to make a real strategic move, Idaho is the place.
Actually if we had a state
Actually if we had a state full of freedom lovers we could nullify the federal government back to their constitutional role by exercising our state sovereignty by electing a state governor and others who have the courage to stand up to the feds. The feds can only pull federal funds from the state if we refuse their unconstitutional mandates that is their ace in the hole. If we do as paul4won suggests and build up local and state economy to function without need of federal funds (which is doable) then we could truly be a free state.

Montana is the best choice
Montana is the best choice for a "Free State West." I'm an ex-Free State Project person, and I know folks who have been discussing this for years.
Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming all have advantages, but Montana is the largest state with the most agricultural resources, the smallest percentage of government land (Idaho is something like 85% government-owned land) and the longest history of resistance to federal mandates.
This mini-thread should go on New Freelanders, Hawkiye.

Cool I am an ex free stater
Cool I am an ex free stater also and I was involved in putting WAL together.
I certainly agree Montana would be a good state to do it in also. And if folks moved there instead I would certainly consider moving there also.
One of the draw backs to Montana is the winter weather. Idaho has a swath from south to north in the western part of the state the runs the whole state with relatively mild winters called the banana belt. Boise and surrounding is in that belt
As for government owned land there is already a movement in the legislature to get that land back in Idaho's hands. Also again if we elect a governor and others who will stand up for states rights we can take it back lawfully.
You may be right but I am not sure on agricultural resources due to weather in Montana. Montana definitely has more land mass but how much is farmland and how long are the growing seasons? The banana belt here in Idaho has a lot of farmland. Could be worth checking into to verify.
The other things is if one of the states like Idaho did it and made it work I bet it would inspire Montana definitely and perhaps Wyoming and others to follow suit.
